Haviland Limoges Ranson Set of 6 Antique White Porcelain Dinner Plates

A refined set of six Haviland Limoges white porcelain dinner plates in the Ranson blank, also known by collectors as Schleiger #1. Made in France, this elegant pattern is admired for its pure white porcelain body, softly scalloped rim, molded edge detail, and understated relief decoration. Without applied color or heavy ornament, the beauty of the set comes from the quality of the porcelain itself, the graceful shape, and the quiet sculptural detail around the border.

The Ranson blank is one of the most recognizable Haviland forms and is widely referenced by collectors through the Schleiger numbering system. Haviland collectors note that many Haviland patterns were assigned collector names or Schleiger numbers rather than original factory pattern names, and Ranson / Schleiger #1 is among the best-known plain white patterns. Haviland reference sources also list standard dinner plates at approximately 9 1/2 inches, matching the measurement shown in the original listing.

The set’s all-white design makes it highly versatile. These plates can be used for formal dining, everyday elegant table service, layered place settings, or decorative display. They pair beautifully with silver plate, crystal, linen, transferware, floral Limoges, French faience, majolica, and other collected tableware. Their restraint gives them a timeless quality, allowing them to work in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Best described as antique to early twentieth-century Haviland Limoges porcelain, the original listing identifies the set as antique, and comparable market references describe Haviland Ranson / Schleiger #1 dinner plates as antique Haviland France porcelain. A cautious date range for this form is circa 1894–1931, depending on the exact backstamp.

Presented in antique condition consistent with age and use, with light wear appropriate to porcelain tableware of this period. A classic and collectible set of six Haviland Limoges Ranson white dinner plates with elegant French character, refined simplicity, and enduring table appeal.
